Here’s what we explored
A new way to see carbon — and life itself
Paul reframes carbon from being the villain of climate change to the element that connects all living things. Discover how this shift changes everything — from how we design solutions to how we see our role in the world.
Regeneration beyond sustainability
Sustainability is about doing less harm. Regeneration is about bringing life back. Paul will explore what it looks like when our companies, systems, and technologies are designed to help the planet thrive.
A hopeful story about the future
This isn’t just a talk about the climate crisis. It’s a conversation about possibility — about how science, systems thinking, and imagination can help us rebuild a future worth believing in.
Technology as a force for healing
Learn how digital innovation, data, and design can restore ecological balance rather than deplete it. From smarter infrastructure to restorative business models, Paul will share examples that reimagine how tech can serve life.
Inspiration for leaders and teams
Walk away with grounded, actionable ideas for leading with purpose. Whether you’re in tech, design, or leadership, you’ll find practical ways to align innovation with the living systems that sustain us.
